RE: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

Well, It isn’t just about what I can do. Siri doesn’t consistently let me send a message so I have to go to my Homepod Mini. I do not use Siri to send an email, but if someone else depends on that feature then I will criticize Apple for breaking Siri rather than improving it. I prefer stabili

Re: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

Well, that’s your choice. For what it’s worth, I’ve had no problems using Siri to send texts or make calls. The only thing I have not been able to do is send an email, but I don’t usually use Siri for that, so I haven’t tried that hard to figure it out. My only point was that by its very natu

RE: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

Well, I do not see why we can’t keep siri features. Customizations are not worth it to me if we can’t have a reliable experience with apps and services. I’m waiting until 15.1. I don’t want to risk wallet crashing or have problems using the keyboard with my 5th Generation iPad Mini. From:

Amen to that. I mean, there may, or may not be people who rely solely on Siri and a lot of these features, due to having dexterity issues, one handedness, etc. #JustSayin', and my 2 cents. On 10/3/21, Rebecca Skipper wrote: > I hope you are right, but if so, then the iPhone would be less accessib

Re: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

But, the new customization features open lots of very useful possibilities. As you’ll recall from my other posts this week, some of them came as an unpleasant surprise to me, but I think in the long run, the added functionality is worth it. Should Apple avoid adding new functionality to the ph

RE: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

I hope you are right, but if so, then the iPhone would be less accessible to people new to smart phones. My respect for Apple’s commitment to accessibility has been tarnished by these changes because accessibility goes beyond blindness. I want the iPhone to do well, but it should be as easy to

Hi Dennis, It looks like the feature worked, in that this message did just come directly to me. What sort of help do you need on the Mac? Later… Tim Kilburn Jamf Certified Tech Apple Professional Learning Specialist Apple Teacher (with Swift Playgrounds Recognition) Fort McMurray, AB Canada

Re: Recent Siri Changes Remove Call, Email, and Voicemail Features Used by Low Vision and Blind Users

I think some of this is that with IOS 15 the shortcuts functionality is being used instead of hard coding items into SIRI. The problem with this if I am correct, i is that it requires more customization by each user, but could mean it is easier to use an alternative client with Siri. Kinda like

Re: Auto Filling the Email Address?

Another point on this, generally when I hear the correct name when entering email addresses I press a comma if I want to enter an additional person. . When you do this, VoiceOver will say content replaced and then read what the content was replaced by. If you delete an address in a recipient fi
